Re: Is there a doctor in the house?

The last time we talked in person, you were telling me of the difficulty of actually connecting with the one person at the ridiculously-large state university who actually had the power to confer this degree.

So apparently you actually interacted with the great and powerful Oz! Congratulations on your patience! The hard work you did seems like an afterthought!

Thanks! She's gotten much better the past year or so, and she's been really supportive.

CONGRATULATIONS, DR. BIT!

Indeed. Thanks, babe!

Recently I heard a 'wise guy' story that I had a party at my home for twenty-five men. It's an interesting story, but I don't know twenty-five men I'd want to invite to a party. ~Joan Crawford

Re: Is there a doctor in the house?

Can we call you a "comparatist"?

Wiki tells me that While most frequently practiced with works of different languages, comparative literature may also be performed on works of the same language if the works originate from different nations or cultures among which that language is spoken. Also included in the range of inquiry are comparisons of different types of art; for example, a relationship of film to literature. Do you specialise in particular things?

(I have a friend who's a professor of 'CrossCulturalism' at my country's national university. He comes out with polysyllabic waffly jargon whenever I ask him what 'CrossCulturalism' is. He finally said 'one culture is one room, another culture is another room and a third culture is a third room. I devote my life to studying the doorways between the rooms'.
